Been awhile folks!

Hello to all my friends and family of the GameEx Community! I hope all is doing well

It's been awhile since I've last been on (on a regular basis). Things here have been quite busy lol. I've finshed up helping the habitat for humanity awhile back, and started focusing on all the smaller projects (and bigger ones) that I set aside.

Progress Report -

-The driving arcade is coming up better than expected. I bought a 27" CRT TV for it (which I will de-case and mount), and ordered the i-pac not too long ago. And for father's day, my fiance' bought me all the pushbuttons I've needed...arcade pushbuttons...makes a great father's day present lol!

- Wedding plans are going smoothly. Bachleor party will probably be on the 6 o'clock news lol

- We have been discussing moving after the wedding....far, far away from Mississippi. (There is really nothing much here). We have been setting our eyes on Florida...maybe around the Tampa/Orlando area - we are current passholders to Disney World, and the Epcot provides a good "Culture Fix" for me

- Among my first days of programmig, along with a few programs I'm writing for work...I started a little one for all of us in the arcade community. It's not anything spictactular lol, but it might be a little helpful tool when starting out with ControllerRemap. It's a little GUI for it, using Autohotkey (don't judge lol) - but it's intended to write out the "MyArcade.cfg" file for you based on IDs and Aliases in which you enter. There are also a few extras about it, which I'll keep a surprise until I finish it. I'm just about finished with the GUI part, including all the variables, and will soon have it fully operationial.

Anyway, until next time -

Good to see you back and the possibility of another Florida neighbor! Do your homework before settling on Tampa or Orlando. Jobs are probably easier to find in Orlando depending on your line of work. Tampa, well, it tends to smell of mothballs and the jobs are not as plentiful. Did I mention a tendency to attract Gulf tropical storms and hurricanes?

Good to see you back LC,

Thanks Draco and KRC!

Hopefully we will move to Florida pretty soon. The origional plan for us was either this summer or next summer, lol which is starting to look more like next summer right now (considering kids school is about to begin here in August, and then wedding). I hope to live around the Orlando area, or at the most halfway between Tampa and Orlando. Since I work in the Casino Industry, I've been having my eyes set on working at Hard Rock Tampa - and all I'm waiting for is a position to open in the field I work in, so I can sneak in my resume'. Jenn has already finished all paperwork to obtain her license there as an RN. All in all, I was really impressed with Orlando (maybe because of Disney lol) and hope to move there soon!
